We live in Barbados and during the last couple of months, we have had lots of rain. And with rain comes plenty of mosquitos. I would spray the dark spots in the house where the critters hide before I left home in the morning in an attempt to have a peaceful evening. It turned out to be just a waste of bug-killer. I bit the bullet and bought the unit and received the Flowtron on Saturday. After adjusting the ring that it hangs from (it seemed that it pull through the hook that I was going to hang it from), I placed it under our back porch.
That evening was such a difference. As soon as I turned it on, I heard the buzzs and zaps of all the curious insects and apart from one or two errant critters, the whole house was mosquito-free.
The true test came in the morning, when we are sure to have a couple buzzing around our ears...nothing!! And we got the same results on Sunday and Monday. I should have purchased this long ago!!
This unit seems well built and is highly recommended!!

I bought the Flowtron BK-80D 80-Watt, 1-1/2-Acre Electronic Insect Killer
and it works like a charm. We could not open our front door without letting in a bunch of mosquitoes. Installed the flowtron and now there are not any bugs around. We can even set on our porch now and watch the world go by without having to spray our selves with off.
We had one we bought at wall mart and it worked good also but you have to clean it everyday because of the way it is built and it only worked for one year. This one you do not have to clean every day or even every week.
It has vertical wires that let the bugs fall out.
This is the bug killer to get.

The mosquitos in our backyard are particularly nasty. They leave large angry bumps where they bite and you itch for at least two weeks after you're bit. They were ruining our outside patio experience. We needed something that would make it possible for us to sit and enjoy our beautiful backyard. This Flowtron really did the trick. We discovered that if we turn it on about an hour before we go out side, it took care of the mosquito problem. We placed the insect killer in the middle of our 1/2 acre yard where you could hear it quietly zapping insect after insect. Bugs seemed to be drawn to it like a magnet. The Flowtron insect killer really got rid of those pesky mosquitos. It also did a great job of scaring off the owls that were making our cats lives miserable. The only drawback is the bright light. I understand there are units out there that are not as bright. Overall, we are very pleased with the way it has substantially reduced the insect population in our backyard. It has made it possible for us to relax on our patio without being bothered by those pesky mosquitos.

Oh my doG, it kills "Japanese" (aka European) hornets!
'nuff said. This unit is awesome.

This is a good product for the money, although this was purchased as a replacement for the same exact model. The last one we had lasted 1 1/2 seasons before it stopped working (running 10 hours/night for 4 months). Will use the new bulbs in this one to see if the problem was the bulbs burning out or some other part that stopped working in the last one before ordering new parts and paying for shipping!
